A multiple correlation analysis of factors associated with adoption of farm practices

motivation and how these may affeot adoption. Existing research has to some
extent inferred such differences from data at hand and at least pointed the way for
further study. Wilkening's recent study3** of the relationship between family
factors and adoption found that differential value attached to alternative ends for
a given family is associated with adoption of practices. This indicates that
motivations to achieve particular ends with reference to the farm enterprise
should not be treated ...

Applied Multiple Regression/Correlation Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences

This classic text on multiple regression is noted for its nonmathematical, applied, and data-analytic approach. Readers profit from its verbal-conceptual exposition and frequent use of examples. The applied emphasis provides clear illustrations of the principles and provides worked examples of the types of applications that are possible. Researchers learn how to specify regression models that directly address their research questions. An overview of the fundamental ideas of multiple regression and a review of bivariate correlation and regression and other elementary statistical concepts provide a strong foundation for understanding the rest of the text. The third edition features an increased emphasis on graphics and the use of confidence intervals and effect size measures, and an accompanying CD with data for most of the numerical examples along with the computer code for SPSS, SAS, and SYSTAT. Applied Multiple Regression serves as both a textbook for graduate students and as a reference tool for researchers in psychology, education, health sciences, communications, business, sociology, political science, anthropology, and economics. An introductory knowledge of statistics is required. Self-standing chapters minimize the need for researchers to refer to previous chapters.

In this example, as may be judged from its mean and sd (Table 8.5.1), it would
signify a very low (possibly the lowest possible) level of motivation, so these
contrasts imply significantly higher performance for the control group than the
average of the experimental groups when motivation is very low. In summary, the
analysis indicates markedly different (linear) relationships between level of
motivation and performance as a function of instructions. The two experimental
groups show ...

Consider as an example how ability (X) and motivation (Z) impact achievement in
graduate school (Y). One possibility is that their effects are additive. The
combined impact of ability and motivation on achievement equals the sum of their
separate effects; there is no interaction between X and Z. We might say that the
whole equals the sum of the parts. A second alternative is that ability and
motivation may interact synergistically, such that graduate students with both high
ability and high ...

Undergraduate Instrumental Analysis, Seventh Edition

Crucial to research in molecular biology, medicine, geology, food science, materials science, and many other fields, analytical instrumentation is used by many scientists and engineers who are not chemists. Undergraduate Instrumental Analysis, Seventh Edition provides users of analytical instrumentation with an understanding of these instruments, covering all major fields of modern instrumentation. Following the tradition of earlier editions, this text is designed for teaching undergraduates and those with no analytical chemistry background how contemporary analytical instrumentation works, as well as its uses and limitations. Each chapter provides a discussion of the fundamental principles underlying the techniques, descriptions of the instrumentation, and numerous applications. The chapters also contain updated bibliographies and problems, and most have suggested experiments appropriate to the techniques. This completely revised and updated edition covers subjects in more detail, such as a completely revised x-ray chapter, expanded coverage of electroanalytical techniques, and expansion of chromatography and mass spectrometry topics to reflect the predominance of these instruments in laboratories. This includes state-of-the-art sample introduction and mass analyzers, and the latest developments in UPLC and hyphenated techniques. The book also contains new graphics and addresses several new topics: Ion mobility spectrometry Time domain NMR (relaxometry) Electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR, EPR) Forensic science and bioanalytical applications Microcalorimetry and optical thermal instruments Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) This text uniquely combines instrumental analysis with organic spectral interpretation (IR, NMR, and MS). It provides detailed coverage of sampling, sample handling, sample storage, and sample preparation. In addition, the authors have included many instrument manufacturers’ websites, which contain extensive resources.

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a technique for creating gas-phase ions from the
molecules or atoms in a sample, separating the ions according to their mass-to-
charge ratio, m/z, and measuring the abundance of the ions formed. MS is
currently one of the most rapidly advancing fields of instrumental analysis. It has
developed from an inorganic method used to prove that most elements exist as
isotopes of differing masses to one of the cornerstone techniques used to
elucidate the structure ...

Undergraduate Instrumental Analysis, Sixth Edition

Completely rewritten, revised, and updated, this Sixth Edition reflects the latest technologies and applications in spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and chromatography. It illustrates practices and methods specific to each major chemical analytical technique while showcasing innovations and trends currently impacting the field. Many of the chapters have been individually reviewed by teaching professors and include descriptions of the fundamental principles underlying each technique, demonstrations of the instrumentation, and new problem sets and suggested experiments appropriate to the topic.
